Drought

The continued worst drought in a generation is pushing food prices up and leaving scientists to conclude the world may be forced to go vegetarian by 2050. The drought kept U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack busy: The man in charge of America's forestry and fisheries admitted that the drought had him literally down on his knees, praying for rain. "If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it," he said.
